Pause. Reflect. Move forward.

Unless something changes overnight and I suddenly become a daily blogger, this will most likely be my last blog of 2008. It's been awhile..3 months and 3 days to be exact, but one of my dearest friends has suckered me in to updating :)

Staying true to my blog title, my life has remained ever-changing in the past three months and over the past year... I expect even more change to come with 2009.

A quick review of 2008:
Survived senioritis and graduated with a BA in Journalism, PR
Quit a job that I loved
Started my first salaried job with good benefits and fun co-workers - a jumping point
Became a true adult - which includes paying all my bills
Fell in love, fell out of love
Broke a few hearts, had my heart broken
Moved into a fabulous apartment in the DFW metroplex
Lost friends, made new friends
Discovered a great church community through my roommate
Attended the first wedding of a close friend and previous roommate
Had countless other friends get engaged
Became the proud owner of a Beta fish, Zeus, and a crazy cat, Mohawk
Saw Death Cab for Cutie live
Took a roadtrip across California
Lived in Waco while not attending school
Experienced life... so much so that I can't paraphrase all of it, but there is a glimpse.

I have a few "new years resolutions" or goals for 2009 that all center around the idea that to be able to succeed in life you must be ready at each moment for anything that life throws at you. So if I think I should better something about myself, then there is no time like the present.

So as the new year draws closer I'll take just a bit more time to reflect on this past year and move forward to the blessings that await.

Love God,
Love people.
